I can see that it makes sense to leave some example scripts uncompressed. I would, however, like to avoid trying to maintain a list of every script extension in dh_compress. dh_compress's default of compressing examples/ may not be the best default. Out of 1400 example files here, only 208 are compressed. It must be very common to use dh_compress -Xexamples to avoid compressing the directory. Uncompressing those 208 files would use an additional 2 mb of space. The biggest file is, ironically, a script: -rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 306K Aug 17 17:20 test.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 169K Aug 17 17:20 taxreport.xac -rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 156K Aug 17 17:20 REC-xml-19980210.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 128K Aug 17 17:20 Muttrc So changing dh_compress to skip examples/* is a possibility, but probably one I would defer to debhelper v9. -- see shy jo
